I may very well take you up on that some time. I usually bail on social occasions, but you're chicken people - that's different.

yep!!! i can even direct you to my chickens that like hugs!

So sorry!

I was just about to leave for church this night, when I noticed the bulb on the quail had blown. I reluctantly put the MHP in their brooder, which I had not done in the first place due to their fragility and stupidity, and planned to find a bulb and switch them back over ASAP.
I got home and went to check on them, and when I went to pick the pad up, I accidentally pinched the neck of a chick burrowed up against the side with the frame. It can't hold its head up right and keeps shaking its head...

Help??

After finding a 75w white light bulb to tide them over until tomorrow, I made the injured one a nest it can lean on to stay upright. The only reason I didn't just snap its neck is it could still stand and did not appear distressed.

IMO, it's just a crick in the neck. It'll work it out.
Once it does, let us know. We can't torment you when there really is a problem. :

Praying she gets better soon and you find out what's wrong.

She's had UTI's since she was an infant. I gave them one last chance to get her medical attention.

e

It's looking better already... Here's hoping!

Gal, this is me we're talking about. There are always flock problems- I just don't post them if I know what to do. Torment away!

These guys are loving the rope light with towel laid on top.

That looks good. I plan to use mhp and the lights I ordered on your recommendation.

Me. actually the cookies are in the freezer being doled out one at a time.

So you eat them frozen? Get one, eat it. Get back up, and to the freezer...

One chick hatched in the time it took me to put dinner in the oven. Oh man, it's a little plaintively peeping racecar in there. The others have pipped but nuttin' else. When can I take the lone dude out of the incubator for cuddling? 

You "should" wait until they are all hatched. I've taken them within half an hour.
My hatch one year ago was very loud. I mean, ear piercing!! As each emerged, it screamed. And screamed. And ... Each one shut up as soon as I put it in the brooder. It was a long night!

A lot of people think I'm my older sisters boyfriend. I'm seven years younger.

Well, women date younger men too.

Kristin, if you weren't so far away I'd invite you for Thanksgiving just to see your face after you drive through a bit of snow....

Looks like it's not the babies that are too stupid to use the MHP.
Killer! Murderer! Red rum!
Poor baby! Mean Banti tried to kill it!
